Okumba, am asking you to
walk a journey of boldness
and courage into a new

raised here and I look

chose different, I chose to
be bold and to be
courageous. I chose to
volunteer myself to be the

numerous hiking

and the power it holds. I
look forward to serving you.

MY PERSONAL PROFILE
"I want to honor
the dreams and
aspirations of the
people of Pumwani
because they are
also my dreams."
My name is Okumba Okumba and I am
Pumwani. I was born and raised in Pumwani,
and even got my nickname (Zeddy) from
there.Â
I attended Eastleigh High School for my O
levels where I picked up an interest in
events and entertainment (or funkies as they
are known in high school).Â After high
school, I got an opportunity to work in the
entertainment industry as part of Teenwise
Media Limited (publishers of The Insyder
Magazine). I served in the capacity of
Circulation and Events Manager from 2014
to 2017. I have a passion for writing and
also a Christian who believes in living out
our God-given purpose.
I believe that leadership is sacred. I want to
honor the dreams and aspirations of the
people of Pumwani because those are also
my dreams. I will do what I can when the
people of Pumwani put their faith and trust
in me.

"To transform Pumwani Ward into

OKUMBA OKUMBA

a vibrant and united ward with

LIVELIHOODS

Proper and decent housing restores dignity. I will ensure
improved living standards for all of us through access to
affordable but decent housing within the ward. House card
holders will be given priority in the ownership of the
forthcoming upgrading initiatives.

HOUSING

I believe that proper education is a key to life's overflow
of opportunities. I will ensure that our children have
access to an improved Early Childhood Development
program. I will also ensure that the provision of school
bursaries go to those who are from deserving
backgrounds. I will also lead the efforts to revive adult
literacy programmes in the ward to ensure that everyone
has an opportunity to learn how to read and write.Â

EDUCATION

Proper healthcare is entrenched in our Country's
constitution. As such, I will champion and ensure that all
of us have access to quality essential health. I will also
introduce awareness programmes for health services and
a directory of health services and service providers in the
ward.Â

SECURITY

I want to make Pumwani a ward we all want to live in. A
ward where children are free to be children because they
are safe. A ward where you are not looking over your
shoulder after work and businesses close at convenient
times because they are assured that it is safe. I will work
with law enforcement to ensure that security is a basic
freedom we all enjoy.

Water is life, and nobody should have to be denied
access to water. I commit to ensuring we have a reliable
water supply that are no longer managed by cartels. I
will also ensure provision of clean metered and safe
drinking water to the households within the Ward.Â

LIVELIHOODS

I believe that everyone deserves a chance at proper and
decent work. I will work with local organisations to
increase the capacity of young people to have
meaningful work. In addition, I will partner with other
organisations to have capacity building forums for
business, sports and arts. I believe that these
partnerships will provide opportunities to harness the
talents of our young people and women for economic
empowerment and improved quality of life.

MY
COMMITMENT

People of Pumwani,
I appeal for your support to grant me the honour of serving you as your MCA.
I commit to follow through on my six agenda items to give us all a better
community and ward. I want us to be proud when we wake up, go about our
daily businesses and come back home, because we know that Pumwani is
where we belong.
I am fully committed to the promotion of welfare, freedom and prosperity for
all who live in Pumwani. I ask you to hold me to account for the things that I
have stated in this manifesto. This way we will build each other and work
together for the greater good of our community.
It will not be an overnight achievement nor will it be easy, but several years
from now, you will be glad that your sweat, tears and prayers went into the rebuilding of Pumwani. It will take work, and that is why I ask you to join me, to
roll up your sleeves and put on "Sura ya Kazi" and let's rebuild our home.
On August 8th, you get to decide who will be your next MCA. The Pumwani
MCA needs to be someone who believes in Pumwani, in change and in change
in and for Pumwani. I am your choice because I am Pumwani.
